When Regina came from the church tower, it was obvious that she was not doing well. With her adrenaline gone, all that was left was pain, though the girl did her best not to show it. Still, when Viola noticed her condition Regina practically fell into her arms due to being light-headed from the apparent blood loss.
"Roc...got me. Extremely lucky I made it..." She weakly said as she allowed Viola to help her. However, as she gazed upon Ires it could be noted that Regina did not see her like the others did at the very least. Regina was an expert at hiding her exact emotions, but a feeling of mistrust toward the princess swelled in her. Whatever was the case as Regina laid down recovering from her wounds that night she came to the conclusion that even though the princess showed an extremely dangerous logic she still had a few positives that could turn her around.
Perhaps....she can be saved before it is too late. In Lord Cormier's militia she knew that the types of tactics the Princess employed just now rarely worked, if ever. And worse still...those that relied on such things often got themselves and others killed prematurely which was the main concern for her earlier protest. However, speaking of such things in public is a bad idea, as Regina found out, and so after having calmed down massively Regina decided she will watch the Princess and Gradon thoroughly to ensure two types of results will happen, or at least the second one. The first would be they become better leaders and will not endanger their troops as badly as the Roc combat. But the second was to ensure that Regina herself survived even if the others did not. After her injury, she concluded she will not follow any other orders that she thought was going to be extremely hazardous to her without knowing the order was a good idea. She was fine with throwing away her life for the Empire, not wasting it.
Upon Viola pointing out a glare in the distance, Regina immediately took out a spyglass that the academy has provided and looked at the ruins in the distance. At first, Regina could not see anything, but she soon spotted shapes in the distance. Due to the distance, she could not see in full detail of what they were, but they were definitely human. Worse, some of them looked liked they had armor when she looked at them.
"Humans. Some armored. I need to get closer to see more clearly." She concluded. However, she still agreed with Leblanc and Szeren. A scout force would be the best approach. However, the first of Natus's statements made Regina nod in agreement.
It would not be Irregular-grade, but there would definitely be traps. I do not agree with smoking them out. Too much chance of ventilation inside and we do not really have the means to get the smoke into the structure." Regina assessed, but her eye was looking at Ires and what her reaction would be. What call would she make with this new assessment. Hopefully, with Ires armed with this new information, she changed this approach with the others' suggestions and Regina's own information in mind.
